Since Jesus considered corporate worship a necessity for His spiritual development and growth, can we really claim to be able to survive on less? He who enjoyed a perfect relationship with His Heavenly Father nevertheless felt it was critical to attend the public gatherings of the people of God.

He went to the synagogue and worshiped with God’s people.
